The yellow-gold surfaces on this AU53 coin display whispers of red
and retain a generous amount of luster. This well defined specimen
reveals just a handful of light circulation marks, and displays
three fine parallel, vertical lines (possibly roller marks) located
at the margin left of stars 1,2,3. The demand from type collectors
makes the Small Eagle series a popular one.(Registry
